The garrison is unbesieged, therefore it's factors are able to guard the 
supply lines.  Cossacks simply lack the numbers to force the garrison to 
hunker down in the city.  They're irregulars fighting a small force of 
regulars.  So the garrison continues to escort supplies across the province 
and the cossacks ambush convoys when they can.  But just as they omit all 
the frigate scale naval combat that raged throughout the Napoleonic wars, 
they also omit skirmish level combat and say that overall, supplies will 
continue to flow as long as they have an escort.

I think the problem is you are trying to mentally subdivide the city and 
the area into two different areas and they simply aren't.
